12 See that /etc/locales.build has "de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" in it, and put
13 LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8" into /etc/env.d/02locale (you may need to
14 create it), env-update and relogin. Substitude de_DE for en_US if you
15 don't want German translations.
16 Also, next time, please consult the manual, the other docs on gentoo.org
17 gentoo-wiki.com first ;)
